The Ritz On Union

We hosted a post-baptism luncheon for around 30 guests on Memorial Day Weekend. Anthony and his staff were very nice and accommodating. We had a few gluten-free guests and they tailored the menu accordingly. All of our guests loved the food and commented on how nice the location was. I was very pleased with the event!

My family and I shared an incredible dinner here on Saturday March 1st. It was Schenectady Restaurant week so the dining room was extremely busy. The owner Anthony made sure we were sat within minutes of arriving for our 6:45 reservation. We started with a beet and burrata salad and mussels in brodo broth. My two children also enjoyed the complimentary bread and butter that was served. The garlic butter was absolutely delicious along with the appetizers. For dinner we has fettucini alfredo with perfectly grilled chicken, chicken parmesan and two kids grilled cheeses. The grilled cheeses were a grilled panini style which was a pleasant suprise and different than elsewhere. The red sauce on the chicken parm was one of my favorites I have ever had. We finished with strawberry shortcake, gluten free chocolate cake and two chocolate layer cakes to go. All hit the spot. I highly recommend the Ritz as a date night or family night out.

OMG, anyone who knows me understands how important lasagna is to me, this by far is the best lasagna I have had at a restaurant. My wife had the gluten free eggplant pasta dish and was amazed it was gluten free. Saphyre was excellent and friendly, highly recommend this restaurant for excellent Italian dishes. Thanks Anthony.
